In a statement, Pocketpair said, “Our goal is to provide comprehensive support for game development through funding and publishing for indie developers and studios.”
The founder of Surgent Studios Abubakar Salim, who is well-known for his creative direction on Tales of Kenzera: ZAU and acting roles in Assassin’s Creed Origins (as Bayek) and House of the Dragon (as Alyn), praised the collaboration saying: “This is the energy I want to see driving games in 2025, developers lifting each other up, creating together, and pushing the industry forward.”
